According to the Department of Trade Defense, Ministry of Industry and Trade, this case was initiated by the US Department of Commerce along with the anti-subsidy investigation from February 14, 2024 at the request of US paper plate manufacturers. The anti-subsidy investigation had a preliminary conclusion from June 25, 2024.

In this case, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) selected 2 mandatory respondents. However, 1 mandatory respondent refused to participate in the case, so there is only 1 mandatory respondent in this case.

According to the preliminary conclusion just issued, the provisional anti-dumping tax rates are as follows: The sole defendant company in the case: 0%; other companies: 159.79%, calculated based on available unfavorable data.

The US Department of Commerce is expected to conduct on-site inspections to verify the information provided by Vietnamese enterprises. This is one of the bases for the DOC to issue a final conclusion, giving official tax rates to Vietnamese enterprises. The final conclusion of the case is expected to be issued in early 2025.

The Trade Remedies Authority recommends that relevant businesses prepare and cooperate well with DOC in the upcoming review.
